I log in, close the window, open up the internet, type in TFS website, and I have to log in every single time. Why? I do have 'remember me' checked as well.

So what you're saying is that you get on the net, log in, check stuff, close the window, log off, and get off the net. Then later you get back on the net, open up TFS and you have to log back in?
If that's what you're saying, there's nothing wrong. Everyone should have to do the same thing if they do what you're doing. It's part of the new security features. If they don't then something is wrong.
If that's not what you're saying, can you explain it a bit better?

hmmmm...
is this a shared computer where others use it as well... like a library?
if not...
scroll down to where it says "Delete cookies set by this board" on the main forum index page.. see image below

then log off if not already... close browser... then log in.. if windows prompts to remember password of course click yes..
close browser...
go back here... you SHOULD be logged off... if not please advise...

hmmm.. thats interesting... by design... even with the security updates... you should be still logged in....
I wonder if this is an isolated occurance... or if others are experiencing this as well....
I am moving this to appropiate forum so others can see.....

Greg, besides just clicking the "Delete Cookies set by this board", you might want to go in and manually clear out the cookies on your computer. I know sometimes when I use the "Delete Cookies" feature on other sites they don't always clear and I need to go in and clear them myself. Don't know if that happens with other people as well or if it's just my POS computer.

hey Sue... that is a last resort as he will lose all his cookies for all the websites he goes to... trying to find out alittle more info before we resort to that... especially since it might not work

Yea, I know it is. I'm talking to him now and told him about losing all the website cookies if he does that.

Im such an idiot... I just figured it out.
When I open up the TFS page to log in, I type in theformulasource.com without the www. When I type in the www and the rest of the address, I stay logged in.
Thanks for everyones help!

I'm always logged in but I can not go to the main page now for some reason.Even if I am already in the forums and click MAIN,my PC acts like it's constantly loading the page. I have no problems going anywhere else on the net.Just our main page.

Ok,get this. If I log in I can not go to the main page. However,if I log out I can. I deleted all my cookies and IE history folder & tried again but it still does the same thing.

Hey I was wondering if anyone was still having the problem. Mine is worse now. The source logs me out 4 or 5 times per session. I'll reply to a post and the screen will come up that I don't have permission, and it says "hello guest"
I have reset cookies, history, etc. several times. Just wondering if it's happening to anyone else.
